natural body scrubs

 

A body scrub offers many benefits. Not only does it feel refreshing and invigorating, but it also cleans and exfoliates dry skin, removes toxins and improves circulation. Commercial body scrubs are very expensive, but it's easy to make your own healthy and natural body scrub.

Make Brown Sugar and Lemon Body Scrub

Try a brown sugar and lemon body scrub, and feel the benefits for yourself.

• Put the 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup sea salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir to mix.
• Add 1 tbsp. jojoba oil, 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice, 2 tsp. freshly grated lemon peel and 1 tbsp. pure honey. Stir until the jojoba oil is completely blended.
• Poke a small hole in the vitamin E capsule and squeeze it into the brown sugar and lemon body scrub. Stir to blend.
• Take a warm shower, then turn the water off.
• Stand in the tub and apply the brown sugar and lemon body scrub to your body, massaging with your fingertips and working in a circular motion. Pay particular attention to dry areas like heels, knees and elbows. Turn the shower back on, and rinse the brown sugar and lemon body scrub completely from your body.
• Dry your skin with a soft towel and apply your favorite moisturizer.

Natural Moisturizing Body Scrub

• Mash the avocado in a small mixing bowl.
• Pour the ground almonds and oatmeal into a bowl, and stir the mixture together gently with the avocado.
• Once the mixture is thoroughly combined, add in the jojoba oil (I suggest using this for dry or normal skin but if you have oily skin I would suggest not using it) and stir together once more.
• Start a warm bath, and gently massage the mixture into the desired areas. I suggest using a towel if you have dry skin, this will help to remove the dead skin. Try to focus especially on dry areas of skin, such as the elbows, knees and feet.
• Wait 15-20 minutes, and then gently rinse off with the bath water. 

Moisturizing Body Scrub for Dry Skin

This moisturizing body scrub is perfect for dry skin. This moisturizing body scrub helps to scrub away dead skin cells and gently exfoliate the skin, while helping to gently moisturize the skin. I suggest using this moisturizing body scrub 2-3 times per week, or as needed.

• Pour the ground almond into a small mixing bowl, and then pour the almond oil over it. Gently stir the mixture together until the ground almond has been soaked into the almond oil.
• Pour the ground oatmeal into the mixture, and stir together until it becomes a thick paste.
• Pour the yogurt into a mixing bowl, and then sprinkle the dry mixture over it. Gently fold the ingredients together until thoroughly combined.
• To use, massage the mixture in a circular motion into the desired areas. Let it soak for 10 minutes before rinsing off. I suggest using a towel to remove it, to help remove the dead skin cells more easily.

Any leftover mixture can be covered with plastic wrap and stored in the fridge for about 10 days.
